Pros

Some really great people. Some not so great too.

Cons

Leadership is not competent to run the business and funds worthless projects that do not make money. Layoffs continue and no one takes accountability. This company is swirling the drain.

Pros

Academic environment that has a lot of interesting science problems from mapping, optimization, plus all the usual user metrics. Rewarding and complex problems that often have a lo t of tradeoff.

Cons

For how good the ICs are, leadership is equally bad. Just riddled with poor decisions top/down. Also given the current state, Uber is just too strong of a competitor and you feel that pressure every day.
